Do what you love, and love what you do- or do you?

Do you? You hear drippy fairy tales all the time about, oh, that girl who wanted to be the first female postwoman when she grew up because she was just sooooo passionate about delivering mail. Or that guy who lived, ate, and breathed nothing but becoming a dump truck driver when he grew up, and how his parents wanted him to become a neurosurgeon, but he was so absolutely dedicated and bent on driving a dump truck that his passion for trash prevailed over the force of his parents. I for one, can't decide what is more important- doing what you love or being able to financially sustain yourself. Like being a journalist, you won't make much $money$ unless you are super-good. So, I think that it doesn't really matter how much $money$ you make if you enjoy your work, but on the other hand you can't exactly buy designer bags or live in Orchard:Scotts, Singapore if you only have enough to put food on the table and clothes on your back.
